The Life After Prison

The Life After Prison (LAP) program addresses the core challenges faced during reintegration by focusing on support across essential life domains. We provide specialized assistance with mental wellness, financial literacy, technological adaptation, personal stability, and sustainable growth. As a dedicated liaison for individuals impacted by incarceration and their families, we offer continuous guidance and resources throughout the entire reintegration journey, ensuring no one has to navigate this critical transition alone.

We offer:

· Coaching and mentoring - Personalized guidance from experienced mentors who understand the unique challenges of post-incarceration life.

· Harm reduction and Narcan training - Critical life-saving education and resources to prevent overdose and promote safer practices.

· Housing support with first, last, and/or security - Financial assistance to overcome one of the most significant barriers to successful reentry.

· Family bonding support - Strategies and resources to rebuild important relationships and strengthen family connections.

· Career planning - Individualized employment pathways that consider skills, interests, and realistic opportunities for sustainable work.

· Personalized improvement plans - Tailored roadmaps for success based on individual needs, goals, and circumstances.

· Training in finance and entrepreneurship - Essential knowledge for financial stability and potential business development opportunities.

· Training in technology - Vital digital literacy skills necessary for navigating today's job market and society.

We also strive to raise public awareness surrounding incarceration and share evidence-based recommendations to government officials on how to improve the reentry process.

In addition to this, we host a dynamic series of support groups, open forums, conferences, trainings, workshops, and community events; all dedicated to decreasing recidivism rates, reducing poverty levels, and bridging the gap between loved ones and the criminal justice system.
